RIP the animals that were caged and trapped and couldn't escape when they knew they had to.

[@yessy7567]

AMÉN 😭😭😭🙇

[@eh1702]

Well, it’s not normal in Turkey to cage pets. It’s also normal for cats to come and go as they please. Cats are well-liked, well-regarded in Turkish culture, and there are many well-fed neighbourhood cats who don’t have a particular home. They are made welcome in a way that seldom happens in most countries. As a Moslem country, pet dogs are not as common in the west but, again, few countries apart from the US regard “crating” dogs - putting them in a cage they can’t get out - as either necessary or humane.

[@ES11777]

@@eh1702 I agree, caging dogs is inhumane and cruel. It’s even banned in some countries. It’s so infuriating how popular caging dogs is because of morons who promote it and morons who believe them.

[@sickturret3587]

@@eh1702 and also @E S. you are both right. we usually don't agree at treating animals as slaves. even if they make some of ours' life a bit more difficult, it's their right to live free like a human too.

All the love for the volunteers who are helping animals (and I have donated a small sum to world animal protection who have volunteers on site, but many organizations do). Also thank you independent for reporting about the animals! They are so helpless, and completely left to the mercy of their humans, and so often forgotten by many when tragedies like these strike, but they are victims just like any human. Thank you for not forgetting about them! ❤️

[@marielucier7982]

I hope that those people who survived can each add one or two more pets to their family. In the event of mommy cats and dogs with babies I hope that extra special and able person for each little family can step up. I wish I could be there helping We had a horrible situation a few days ago here in the states where a woman with 30 cats was being evicted so the owner could sell the house. It appears that maybe in desperation it did not end well at all. ⭐️If someone out there who knows how to do it…could start an outreach program that can be widely known to have at the ready solutions for these people to safely go to for 1100% proper help it might save a lot of lives.
